23. Not really...

When you consider that Quinnipiac and even PPP have really not been doing that good of a job this election cycle. I don't off-hand recall where, but Quinnipiac's methodology of polling was a bit too dismissive of minority voting. They seemed to be saying that minority voting will be down this election cycle by 2%, while white voters voting will be up 2% this election cycle. Also buried within that same Q-poll, it showed that at the time before the primaries were over that Bernie was ONLY up by either 2 or 4 % points over Trump in Ohio.

I'm one who puts a bit more weight into Electoral College numbers, which helps me to not get too up or too down with day-to-day polling this early on because we still have yet to have debates and people are not really paying enough attention yet to the election etc., but when the polling seen does not have a decent methodology to their polling I REALLY try to stay away from that pollster--even if they're pro the person I'm supporting.

Not credible. They're saying 33% of Latinos favor Trump, and we know that's laughable. brush Jun 2016 #4
